Myth #12: One of the most dangerous encounters is getting between a mother black bear and her cubs. Fact: Because black bears can tree their cubs, it is rare for them to attack a person in defence of cubs. However, if you are anywhere near a mother grizzlyâs cubs, she might very well perceive you as a threat.
Know your bear. The steps you take to survive an encounter with a bear will depend in part on the type of bear. North America has three kinds of bears: brown bears, black bears, and polar bears. Polar bears, of course, are easily recognizable, and their range is limited to the far northern latitudes. Climb a tree only under the right circumstances. 2  Black bears are adept climbers, so climbing a tree will do you no good with one of them. 3  Grizzlies, too, can climb a little, and they can reach up to 12 feet (3.7 m) into the tree from the ground.
